Can I try a kit if I have never worked with leather?
Yes. The cutting and hole-punching are already done. Both the wallet and card-holder kits have illustrated assembly instructions, with a separate saddle-stitch guide to help you learn the stitch.
What comes with a kit?
Pre-cut leather panels, waxed thread, two sewing needles and thread snips. Each product page shows its own colourway and the components supplied.
Is it real leather?
Yes. The leather panels come from Scottish tanneries. Any fabric backing, thread and other kit components are described separately.
Can I see the instructions before choosing?
Yes. Follow the wallet instructions or card-holder instructions online, or download the printable guides. The saddle-stitch guide shows how to thread the needles and work each stitch.
Are the kits suitable for children?
For ages 12 and over. The kits contain sharp needles and snips, so children need adult supervision. Keep tools and small components away from younger children.
Can I choose a different colour?
Use the colour chips or the photo selector on a product page to explore the available colourways. Each colour has its own page and matching product images.
